  8. Average Water Temperature • The warmest thing you could wear in these waters is a spring wetsuit and you won’t even need that.

  9. Travel Costs - Airfare • In the winter flights from Philadelphia to Hawaii range from $800-$1300 roundtrip depending on how early or late into the year you fly. • Depending on your airline you may make several stop in the following cities; Houston, TX, Las Vegas NV, Los Angelos, CA, and but not limited to Hilo, HI before arriving in Honolulu HI

  10. Best time to Travel • Spring time is the best time to visit the North Shore because there’s still plenty of swell and all of the pro’s left • Winter has the greatest amount of swell which is why it’s so popular and why it will be crowded that time of year.
